There's a saying "never drive when angry." To add my own Poulter twist I try to make a point of never writing when angry. Hence a 24-hour cool down before I started even thinking about the Liverpool game. The sheer utter ineptitude was staggering and more importantly it flew in the face of everything Mancini has been trying to do with City all year.

Apparently common sense isnâ€™t as common as you might think. Then again we are dealing with the FA where a lack of common sense appears to be a pre requisite. Once again the FA has the appearance of making things up as they go along.

Wallace Poulter is an award winning video game producer, designer, industry consultant and writer. He has been a football fanatic since the day he moved in next door to Brian Clough. "Cloughie" being the acknowledged genius that he was promptly moved out and went to manage Derby. A serviceable senior school left-back in his youth, Poulter played one season of Sunday league football as a striker proving conclusively that he was a serviceable senior school left-back! Today Poulter remains involved with football as a licensed referee and most recently as a consultant on a Football MMO.
